Welcome back, devoted readers! In Hero of Hearts Chapter 1472, the stakes in the pharmaceutical war reach a critical new level as corporate rivalries turn sinister.
Prepare for a thrilling dive into Jiro’s desperate tactics as he plots a dangerous move to secure the coveted JX Weisan formula!
Chapter Highlights
- Jiro faces an insurmountable challenge with JX Weisan’s superior efficacy and lower cost, rendering a traditional price war an impossible, suicidal move for Kobayashi.
- Driven by sheer desperation, Jiro abandons all pretense of fair competition for a much darker strategy: stealing the invaluable JX Weisan prescription and formula.
- An elaborate and dangerous ambush is set for Liang as Jiro mobilizes a team of sixteen ‘masters’ to extract the crucial secrets of JX Weisan by any means necessary.
Chapter FAQ
Q: What is Jiro’s primary concern regarding a price war with JX Weisan?
A: Jiro is terrified of a price war because Kobayashi Weisan has significantly worse efficacy and higher production costs. This means they would lose money and potentially go bankrupt, while JX Weisan could still profit, making it a suicidal financial move for Kobayashi.
Q: Why is stealing the formula more critical than just knowing the ingredients of JX Weisan?
A: While the prescription lists ingredients and their amounts, the formula specifies their precise proportions. Incorrect proportions can render a medicine ineffective, or even turn it into a poison, and reverse-engineering the correct formula through guesswork and experimentation could take decades, making direct theft Jiro’s only viable shortcut.

After all, to fight a price war is the last resort.
If the effects of the two products are similar, a price war at this time is tantamount to killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.
But if the efficacy of the two products is much worse, and there is a price war at this time, it would be equivalent to killing one hundred enemies and self-defeating one thousand.
After all, although the efficacy of Kobayashi Weisan is much worse, the cost is not lower than JX’s!
Moreover, as Japan’s labor costs are relatively high, and the cost of export shipping and tariffs is not low, the cost of Kobayashi’s Weisan is much higher than that of JX Weisan, which is much more potent.
If everyone drops the price to 100 a box, afterward Kobayashi Weisan may lose money and sell it, but JX Weisan may have a profit of ten to twenty per box.
Therefore, Jiro is just trying to do without a price war. If he is undeniably allowed to fight, he has no such confidence.
After thinking about it, he felt that his real solution was to steal the prescription.
As soon as he returned to his car, Jiro couldn’t wait to ask his assistant: “Is the Japanese master in Aurous Hill now?”
The assistant hurriedly reported to him: “President, I have mobilized a total of 16 masters this time, of which 9 have already been here, and the remaining 7 will arrive before tonight.”
“Okay, extremely good!” Jiro nodded and stated, “Let them set up an ambush on this road tonight, tie that Liang to me, and afterward torture him severely. We must let him hand in the prescriptions and formulas!”
Whenever Chinese patent medicines, the prescription is important, and the formula is also incredibly important.
The prescription contains all the types of medicinal materials needed for this medicine and the corresponding amount of each medicinal material.
If there are the same 10 kinds of medicinal materials, and the proportion of each medicinal material is different, the medicinal effects produced are also worlds different.
It is possible that if a certain medicinal material is too much or less, it will turn this kind of medicine that can save people into a poison that can harm people.
So Jiro also knew that even if he could figure out what ingredients were in it, it would be difficult to formulate the correct ratio.
If you rely on guesswork and experimentation, it may not be possible to figure it out within a few years.
In case this medicine contains more ingredients, it may not be available in 10 or 20 years.
As for the formula, it is related to the pharmaceutical process.
The current proprietary traditional medicines are basically processed and extracted by modern methods. Some medicinal materials need to be fermented, some medicinal materials and medicinal materials need to be reacted, and some need to be added before or after other medicinal materials to be effective. , Such as the concept of drug primer in traditional medicine.
This is like a complicated chemical reaction formula. In addition to the core raw materials, there is also a catalyst. When will the catalyst be added? How much to add? These are exceptionally important. In case there is a slight mistake, it is a small mistake and a thousand miles away.
So the safest and fastest method is to get the entire prescription and formula directly!
The tension is palpable as Jiro’s sinister plot unfolds. What do you think will be the outcome of this desperate attempt to steal the JX Weisan formula, and who will emerge victorious?
